Artist Statement:
I write abundant floral arrangements, portraits and vibrant seascapes in the style of impressionism, realism and expressionism. Born and raised in Minsk, Belarus. I started to paint with oil on canvas at a young age. I like to convey my emotions, to use beautiful, harmonious forms. She graduated from the department: monumental and decorative art at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts. I saw myself only as an artist. I draw inspiration from the Impressionists and like to spend time in the fresh air, watching the beauty of nature. I like to do small and big work. For seascapes and floral arrangements, I use studies made on trips. A picture should appear in my head. Then I quickly throw it on the canvas using a spatula and brushes. I feel great joy that it is possible to paint pictures every day. I work in a small home studio. My works were published in the Belarusian, German and Polish press, and also exhibited at the Palace of Arts and the Museum of Modern Fine Art in Minsk.

Awards & Distinctions:
I do not take part in competitions. I sell work in online galleries. For me, the best reward and recognition is when works - paintings are sold. In 2006, 30 works were sold at a solo exhibition in Germany. Over 50 landscapes sold to China.
